Newbie From Wisconsin
 

Hi everyone! I'm a wagon guy and am a regular over at the stationwagonforums.com . I'm also a car guy and have built some nice stuff in my day. I just bought a really nice 96 Caprice wagon that is made up to look like an Impala SS. I'm lovin' this wagon a LOT! I used to build 455's and dropped them into late 80's Buick box wagons. Had a lot of fun with my favorite....an 88 Electra wagon with a built 455 and built tranny. Hey, I'm just a white haired old guy and used to love to send some of the young kids home with their Mustangs scratching their head wondering how they got blown off by a white haired old man in an old Buick station wagon! :devil: I'm really looking forward to being a member here. I bought the 96 Caprice because I wanted to experiment with an L series engine. I'm from the old school and you guys can teach this old Fox the new stuff on these L engines. A good friend of mine introduced me to this forum but I don't know what his name is here. Over at the wagon forum he is known as Ampypants. I call him Amp. He has already given me a lot of info on what can be done to the LT1 and I hope to learn a lot more. I'm leaning toward swapping an LS1 in my wagon but will see what I can learn here about the LT1. I know you will want pix but I'm a puter idiot. :D The only pix I have are the ebay link. It will give you some pix of my car. And, maaannn....I'm lovin' it! :rock:

Welcome to the forum, nice to see others from wisconsin. I will always have a soft spot in my garage for the 455s, olds, buick, and pontiac. My brother has a 73 GS With a 455 stage 1, and hell my dads old gmc 1/2 ton has a 455 olds in it. The ls series engines are fantastic though. I dont think i will ever build a old school big block again.

Newbie here too, but it's good to see others from WI!

Hi Wisconsinites! I'm in the south to mid western part of the state.

From the Fox Valley, but living in Madison now (school at UW)

I was born and raised in Madison, 99Form. Back when it was the greatest town ever.
Hey, rpmauto....I think I'm interested in dropping an LS into my wagon. I need tips on where to find a low mile good one cheap to build and, more importantly, how to build it. I'm still from the old school and need all the info I can get.
How do I post pix here??
